Sony has, at last, unveiled a way to smell PlayStation games in a big cube
In a move that surely someone asked for, Sony unveiled a concept that’ll allow gamers to take in the many scents of its games (including zombies).
The Japanese tech giant dropped a trailer for its “Future Immersive Entertainment Concept” at CES, four years after reports first revealed the company had patented smell tech.
The idea, essentially Smell-O-Vision, appears to be a group gaming activity where players step into a large cube covered in LED screens, where a soup of audio, scents, and haptics fill their senses. That means no at-home “God of War” BO, “The Last of Us” fungus, or “Gran Turismo” exhaust — at least for now.
Sony had a rough 2024, but it’s unlikely Smell-O-Vision brings the sweet scent of success to the company in 2025.
